Personal injury (or "tort") law is based upon the premise that, in many types of human relationships, we owe a duty to act as any reasonable person would act to avoid harming someone else.
A driver who runs a stop sign, resulting in a collision between two cars, is responsible for the personal injuries suffered by others as a result of his negligence.
A property owner who knowingly fails to take reasonable steps to keep the premises safe may be liable to someone (a tenant, a guest, or a delivery person) who is injured by a defect, whether it is a broken stair, snow and ice, or uncovered lead paint.

The Social Security Administration (hereafter "SSA") will pay you monthly benefits if you become disabled.
In order to be considered disabled, you must show by "substantial evidence" (much less than "beyond a reasonable doubt") that you have been or are likely to be unable to engage in substantial gainful employment for at least one year.
There are two types of disability benefits.
If you have a work history prior to becoming disabled, your disability benefits will be based on your earning capacity over the previous ten years.

If you are selling your home, you need counsel to negotiate the terms of the sale with the buyers or their attorney and to draft the appropriate documents.
As the seller, you must be sure that you are conveying "good, clear, marketable title" to the property to the buyer.
Assuming the buyer borrows part of the purchase price, you need your own attorney to explain the pile of documents the buyer's lender's attorney will expect you to sign.
If you are buying a home, you should consult an attorney to review and make any necessary changes to the "purchase and sale agreement" (or "P&S") drafted by the buyer's broker or attorney.

Even if you have a relatively small estate, or if you and your spouse own all of your assets jointly, each of you still needs three documents: a will, a power of attorney, and a health care proxy.
The first spouse to die has no estate to probate if all assets are jointly owned.
The problem is, who plans to die first?
Or suppose both of you die in the same accident?
Wills for BOTH spouses allow you to control the distribution of your assets.
Other important issues can be anticipated in a will.
For example, someone must be nominated as the "personal representative" of your estate if your spouse predeceases you, or if s/he is unable to serve in that capacity due to age or infirmity.
